How do you keep the liquid coffee from overflowing the adapter? No matter how firmly I press down on the lid of the basket, liquid still overflows.

Did not have that issue. The K-cups fit tightly into the adaptor fits tightly into the VUE, I can only guess that has something to do with your issue.

I use K cups and the vue cups and have never had this problem. Sorry Are you pushing the Kcup clear down in the adapter so it is flush?
39
Are you pressing the K cup down into the adapter cup so it gets punctured with the little pointy thing in bottom? Unless your adapter is defective & doesn't have it. I've not had any over flows!

I don't know I never got to use the basket my keurig vue stopped working and keurig sent me a new 2.0 so I never used the basket only the kcup part

I have no problem with this. The arm that pivots over the coffee basket puts some pressure on the basket and the top cover snaps shut and holds the basket in its most downward position. This creates interference with the coffee pot and the valve on the bottom of the basket, permitting the valve to be in the open position position and letting the coffee flow. When the pot is removed, the valve closes and shuts off the flow. Take the empty basket, fill it partway with water and manually operate the valve on the bottom of the basket and note if it operating properly or perhaps it is broken.

Are you using the optional filter? If so we did not have good luck with it. Put 6 coffee scoops of coffee in the gold basket, make sure the snap on lid is secure and the other lid is closed. The coffee is amazing but definately not watery! In fact the bottom of the pot has a sediment that most of the time that we prefer to not drink.

It's great for no overflow! I haven't had a problem at all. However, with my last coffee pot, a Cuisinart, I kept it on a tray, to keep the overflows from running all over my counters.

Make sure you get the carafe directly under the basket all the way in. It's a little stiff at first. If it's not all the way in the shut-off valve may not allow the drip/brewing. Otherwise I can't imagine what's wrong.

I have this coffee pot, I bought last year. It works fantastic and keeps my coffee hot. Are you closing the lid tightly after pouring a cup of coffee? I wonder if the seal on your lid is maybe defective.

There certainly could be some water but your description seems like it's too much. This is a pressure system so that pressure should force the water thru the grounds. Are you filling the basket with enough coffee grounds? What is the quality of the coffee you're making? I presume you are allowing a small amount of time for the water to percolate thru when the pressure tapers off.

I've had this machine for only 4 days now, and the only problem I see with it is that even with low levels of coffee grounds they come perilously close to overflowing the #4 cone filter. I suspect this is due to two factors: 1) the filter basket bottom is flat so that once the filter is wet it sags to conform which lowers it and allows grounds to overflow, and 2) I suspect water flows faster than other coffeemakers I've had (DCC-1200) and this causes water to stay in the basket longer. I'm using the same amount and grind on my coffee and also the same filters and this was never an issue on the DCC-1200. I'll experiment a bit and hopefully find a solution or this is going back.

Mine leaks juice around the cup no matter how tight I screw it on and it runs down into the machine when it's blending. Anyone have a solution for that?

I unscrew the lid until the coffee can flow fairly freely, but I hold the lid on while I pour, because I have to unscrew it to the point that it can fall off, resulting in coffee all over. (Definitely not the result you're looking for).

My pot has only overflowed when I forgot that I still had water in it! I'll put a potful of cold water into the carafe, and then while I'm grinding the beans I'll keep hot water in the pot to rewarm it. Once, I forgot and stuck the full pot back under the filter, and boy did it overflow. I'll never do that again! But, other than that, no.

Maybe you put too much water. You need to fill the upper part until the word H2O and stir this water in the bottom part. Put enough coffee to fill the filter and dont push it

I've had the same problem. Bad design. The workaround that I've found is to close the top before putting the carafe in place. If you put the carafe in first and then close the top, it doesn't seem to work as well.

I hated that coffee maker! Threw it in the trash. Tried everything to keep it from overflowing but nothing worked. Sorry

Bunn has a fix for that, an optional spray head that restricts the flow and increases the brew time. Also try using finer grinds, not just more grinds. If you do use more or finer grinds, however, make sure you are using Bunn-brand filters that have the taller sides to avoid overflows.Good luck!

Hi Victoria: I delayed answering your email because I wanted to be 100% sure I was correct. I went home and made a pot of (Mountian Blue) coffee. I filled it up to 5 cups - on the glass carafe it was just a tad under the max line and not a drop spilled. So short answer your pot is defective :(

Run the cycle of brewing a cup of coffee, you should be able to open the lid than, it happened to me once and that's how I fixed it. Good luck!!
